Just upgraded to the latest release of Ubuntu tonight, 9.04 (aka Jaunty Jackalope). Chintzy login screen aside, it looks really good.

• I wasn’t prompted to resolve any config file conflicts during the install
• The new Human login screen is really cheesy
• Wireless worked without any madwifi-hal-testing juju
• Screen brightness and volume notifications are much improved
• Firefox takes a LONG time to close (bug) This seems to have resolved itself
• No more weird video artifacts when maximizing/minimizing windows
• Suspend/Resume still doesn’t work (on my Lenovo X200) but that’s ok, I’ve gotten out of the habit of using it
• Fonts in Terminal are no longer fuzzy
